Dear Leader...
This is a plea and prayer for world peace.
As world citizens, we are furious about the ongoing global wars and of all the military weapons in the world, particularly all the nuclear weapons.
Its time that we stopped this insanity. We don’t want to destroy our planet. Nobody wins in this scenario.
Its time we lived in peace not war. Lets show some leadership and maturity.
The International Peace Charter is essential.
This initiative of world peace begins with each citizen of the world.
We cannot underestimate the power of people and prayer.
Together we can achieve world peace!

About
The International Peace Charter (IPC) was founded by Miles Craig, a spiritual, private Canadian citizen living in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, with a background in business and philanthropy.
Miles’ concern for wars throughout the world, in particular the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, led to his belief that there is a critical need for a new peace organization and new international peace charter encompassing all 198 countries of the world.
He believes that the countries responsible for existing wars exhibit war mentalities while benefiting from the proliferation of military weapons, including both conventional and nuclear arms.
World peace requires responsible and mature leadership from the leaders of every country.
Miles’ vision is for an international peace movement through the connective power of the internet. Approximately 70% of the Earth’s population (about 5.5 billion people), are internet users. Miles proposes that citizens of the world send messages to their leaders in support of peace and solidarity. The power of people, personal action, and prayer is not to be underestimated. Prayer being both the oral, written, or request for intervention from God.
Budha appears in our life, in our world, to each us how to develop and maintain a special experience of linner peace that leads to world peace. The real method of creating world peace is to develop and maintain inner peace, peace of mind. Nothing is more important if we care about this world and the people in this world than developing and maintaining inner peace.
— Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong
The ultimate goal is to reach the governments of each country to endorse and ratify the International Peace Charter.
The practice of meditation in countries throughout the world is key to achieving long term world peace. Meditation facilitates and enables collective consciousness within society. Meditation within a group of people has a calming effect on the rest of the population. Research has proven that this reduces crime and conflict within society. Meditation ultimately helps to create a more peaceful, rich and prosperous society. The world needs more individual and group meditators.
Wars throughout the world are a result of power and greed among some leaders. We live in a war society where war is a part of our mentality and culture. The world economy is predicated on the manufacture and sale of military weapons.
Wars are precipitated by an overabundance of military weapons, both conventional and nuclear. The total world military expenditures in 2023 were $2.4 trillion. Here is a brief overview of military expenditures by country:
| USA: $916 Billion* | China: $296 Billion |
| Russia: $109 Billion | India: $83.6 Billion |
| Canada: $41 Billion |
*Representing 40% of the total world military expenditures
There are misconceptions and a lack of education about the benefits of military expenditures. Increased military spending makes the world more dangers, not less dangerous. Restraint in military expenditures is essential for world peace.
